Case Study: Gas South achieves reduced business risk and uninterrupted Azure access with Check Point Software's CloudGuard IaaS

Gas South Reduces Business Risk with CloudGuard IaaS in Azure

Gas South, a leading natural gas provider serving over 300,000 customers across the Southeast, migrated key infrastructure and applications to Azure and needed to secure that move while preserving access to mission‑critical systems if its on‑premises data center became unavailable. After trying native and third‑party options that fell short, the company sought a private, reliable connection and stronger cloud security to reduce downtime, ensure disaster recovery, and meet compliance requirements.

Gas South deployed Check Point CloudGuard IaaS with R80 (validated in a three‑day POC), giving secure, AD‑integrated access to Azure, IPSec/SSL VPNs, and centralized visibility and policy control. The solution maintained application access during multiple outages, significantly reduced user downtime and business risk, enabled secure work‑from‑home flexibility, and improved overall security management and employee satisfaction.
